I volunteer at the library, and a surprising amount of people. They try to apply for jobs using the Android version of Office, don't know what a file is, and then put "Computer skills" on their resume.
I pretty much agree with all of this... I have a Mint XFCE installed on a thumb drive. (Not an installER , installED.) I can boot it on basically any computer that still supports Legacy, and I've done so on a Dell Venue Pro tablet (Atom CPU, 2Gb Ram). Had a bastard of a time getting it to boot, but it ran better than the on board Windows 8.1. This was post-Covid. Of all the systems I've run it on, one didn't have WiFi, and one had a bunch of messing around to get the audio to switch between speakers and headphones reliably. But keep in mind, this is the exact same copy of the OS, across a half dozen systems. I've also upgraded it over five years or so...
Block the trolls, I just did!
I've taken a couple of shots at yacy, but have little luck. It's possible to self host a searxng in docker that uses almost no resources. I use a server, but a buddy literally has it load on startup in his Windows.
In my IT program at school, the only people who have heard of the fediverse are the ones I've told.
Also, I like Mint. Back in the day, I had an obscure wifi issue, asked Twitter, and Clem himself replied with a one-liner that fixed me right up.
Canadian person! If you break it, ask me and I will do my best to non-snarkily assist. I am working on becoming less snarky, so it's practice!
https://www.entroware.com/store/ I know very little about them other than they support Late Night Linux, which is a fun podcast. The LNL guys tend to run ads for actually useful products though, so... I have a first-run Framework. I love it although I wouldn't recommend it for the non-techie.

This seems apt.
So, bad things happen, absolutely. Sometimes, they go in a run. I've had some epically shitty times in my life, and it just seems like they pile on. But... Things also change. I had an absolute nightmare job for 19 years. My Dad died. I got sick. I got laid off. I went back to school. It sucked, so bad! But then, I got an internship. It was awesome! I made friends. The reduced stress let me kick my illness. Now, I'm almost done school, and I have a really good chance of getting full time work at that internship. We'll see. The point is, things go in cycles. It's so cliche, but it's true that it's always darkest before dawn. Hang in, find your joy. It'll change.
